hi farley: you wrote: >I am here to learn more about PD, and how to take care of my parkie. good for you! you are open to new ideas and you care enough about your loved one to take action in my book those are symptoms of 'my kind of people' >Messages like this one are very precious and >definitly importand for some subscribers thank heaven we aren't all clones with identical needs and preferences and talents! each one of us is unique has never been here before will never be here again >but it is not my interest and very time consuming for me. this reminds me of something i posted during the last kefuffle about 'relevancy' and our 'purpose': ----- no one or thing can 'make' me feel anything my emotions are my own i can choose to see the cup as half empty and worry about what i don't have or i can choose to see the cup as half full and enjoy what i have it's still the same cup but my outlook is not i can see the volume of messages on the list as an overwhelming burden or as generous sharing the volume is still the same but my outlook is not ----- >I guess it is time to split the list. i find this interesting because it feels so familiar to me something that i learned recently that was an 'aha!' discovery in our society's confrontational brain-staining we tend to think in terms of black and white all or nothing us vs them logic vs intuition left brain vs right brain thinking hard cold facts vs slippery nebulous emotions i found myself reacting to situations over which i had no 'control' which 'made' me feel powerless reacting to outside circumstances and trying to change those circumstances in order to change my reaction was an exercise in futility and frustration when i discovered that i had 'control' over my own reactions and feelings i suddenly felt powerful our power and strength comes from inside us the hard work is digging for it but it's there with love to you and yours your syber-sis janet [log in to unmask]
